Wire  Fences  and  Tennis  Court  Enclosures 

E  make  fences  for  all  purposes,  from  the  simplest  wire 
fence  for  the  farm  to  elaborate  railings  and  entrance 
gates,  as  well  as  arbors,  trellises  and  aviaries;  dog  ken¬ 
nel,  stock  paddock  and  tennis  court  enclosures,  etc. 

This  section  of  our  catalogue  covers  the  various 
types  of  fences  for  lawns  and  gardens,  and  also  tennis 
court  enclosures  and  backstops. 

The  fences  shown  vary  in  height,  design  and  price, 
but  all  are  alike  in  that  most  important  particular — the 
posts.  These  standard  Anchor  Posts  are  U-shaped 
bars  of  high  carbon  steel — a  metal  very  much  stronger 
than  ordinary  commercial  steel  or  iron. 

Anchor  Posts  are  Galvanized 

We  are  now  galvanizing  all  parts  of  our  wire  fences.  Our  galvanizing  is  the 
old-fashioned  hot-dip  spelter,  the  best  and  thickest  protection  that  can  be  given  to 
metal.  Ungalvanized  posts  are  particularly  subject  to  rust  at  or  just  below  the 
ground.  This  is  the  very  part  of  the  post  that  it  is  impossible 
to  keep  painted,  and  also  the  point  of  greatest  strain. 

They  Will  Last  Twenty  Years  or  More 

We  know  that  our  posts  will  last  twenty  years;  how  much 
longer  we  cannot  say  from  actual  experience.  Tests  made  by 
government  experts  and  by  mechanical  engineers  would  justify 
our  claiming  for  them  a  much  longer  life. 

Anchor  Post  Fences  Stay  in  Line 

They  are  not  shifted  by  the  action  of  frost  or  the  stress  of  hard 
usage.  The  post-bar  is  driven.  Digging  is  not  required.  It  is  held 
from  opposite  sides  by  two  anchor  stakes,  driven  through  sockets 
clamped  to  the  sides  of  the  post,  as  shown  in  trade-mark  illustration. 

Erected  by  Experienced  Men 

We  have  been  building  fences  for  over  twenty  years.  We 
have  a  large  force  of  erectors  under  the  supervision  of  our  home 
office  (or  the  nearest  branch  office),  trained  to  set  our  work  as  we  think  it  ought  to  be  set. 

Prices 

The  prices  given  in  the  tables  are  for  the  fence  by  the  running  foot,  and  include 
the  line  posts,  wire,  top  rail,  and  everything  complete,  with  the  exception  of  the  straining 
posts  and  gates,  which  are,  quoted  extra.  The  list  prices  are  for  material  only,  and 
are  subject  to  a  discount.  Prices,  including  the  cost  of  erecting,  quoted  on  application.

Plate  No.  3443.  Woven  Wire  Fence,  Narrow  Mesh 


IN  this  fence  the  vertical  pickets  or  wires  are  spaced  1^  inches  apart,  thus  giving  greater  pro¬ 
tection  against  small  animals.  It  is  a  very  strong  fabric,  and  on  account  of  its  narrow  mesh  is 
practically  unclimbable.  The  posts  and  top  rail  are  the  same  as  described  in  the  preceding  pages

THE  fabric  in  this  fence  is  a  combination  of  wide  and  narrow  spacing,  made  by  interweaving  an 
extra  set  of  pickets.  The  lower  pickets  are  134  inches  apart;  the  top  ones,  ‘l7/%  inches. 

In  all  of  our  fences  the  fabric  is  securely  fastened  to  the  posts  by  means  of  heavy  wire  staples 
which  are  driven  through  holes  in  the  face  of  the  post  and  bent  or  clinched  down  on  the  inner  side. 
It  is  also  secured  to  the  top  rail  at  frequent  intervals  by  double  tie  wires.

CHAIN  Link  Woven  Steel  is  very  popular  for  either  front  fencing  or  for  divisional  lines  where  a  ■ 
fabric  of  more  than  ordinary  strength  is  desired.  We  make  it  in  two  weights  of  wire,  No.  9  being 
the  lighter.  No.  6  the  heavier.  On  account  of  the  close  mesh,  the  fence  is  unclimbable  and  will  keep  J 
out  small  animals.  We  build  this  fence  in  any  height  from  8  feet  6  inches  up  to  10  feet.

Tennis  Fences 


BACK-STOP  or  enclosure  is  a  necessity  for  every  Tennis  Court,  but 
the  ordinary  kind  with  wood  posts  and  a  cheap  sagging  netting  is  at 
best  an  unsightly  makeshift  and  also  entails  a  continual  expense  to 
keep  it  in  even  approximately  good  condition. 

Anchor  Post  Back  Stops  and  enclosures  are  designed  for  this 
particular  service  and  are  permanently  efficient  and  attractive.  They 
are  usually  built  8  and  10  feet  in  height,  with  Anchor  Posts,  size 
No.  2;  or  for  heights  12  feet  or  more,  size  No.  3.  These  posts,  and 
in  fact  every  part  of  the  fence  and  gates,  are  galvanized  by  the  hot 
dip  spelter  process  which  makes  them  impervious  to  rust,  both  above 
and  below  ground. 

The  Drive  Anchorage  is  of  particular  value  to  fences  of  this 
character  and  height,  as  it  holds  the  posts  so  firmly  that  they  never  shift  out  of  line. 

The  End,  Corner  and  Gate  Posts  are  extra  strong  steel  tubing,  re-enforced  by  horizontal  brace  bars 
as  shown  in  the  following  illustrations. 

The  Top  Rail  is  of  1-inch  pipe  (1^4  inches  outside  diameter). 

The  Wire  Mesh  in  our  standard  Tennis  Fences  is  Hexagonal  Netting,  1^-inch  mesh,  No.  18  wire, 
re-enforced  by  lateral  strands  of  Coiled  Spring  Wire.  Chain  Link  Netting  is  sometimes  used  and  makes 
a  very  attractive  fence  for  this  purpose,  as  shown  in  the  illustrations  on  page  17. 

These  enclosures  and  back-stops  have  been  installed  on  hundreds  of  courts  throughout  the  country. 
They  are  permanent  investments,  lasting  year  after  year — always  efficient — always  trim  in  appearance.

Plans  of  Tennis  Court  Fences.  The  dimensions  of  the  fences  shown  on  these  plans  are 
approximate  only,  and  can  be  changed  to  suit  the  conditions  of  individual  courts.  We  do  not  recom¬ 
mend  making  the  inclosures  smaller  than  those  shown.  It  is  a  common  mistake  to  place  the  back-stops 
or  fences  too  close  to  the  court.  Wherever  possible,  they  should  be  set  from  20  to  25  feet  back  of  the 
service  line,  and  12  to  15  feet  from  the  side  lines.

Complete  instructions  for  setting  up 
our  tennis  fences,  together  with  blueprint 
plan  showing  location  of  posts  and  all  details, 
are  furnished  with  each  order.  Any  intel¬ 
ligent  mechanic  following  these  instructions 
can  set  the  fence.  If  desired,  however,  we 
will  furnish  our  own  men  to  do  this  work  at 
the  lowest  possible  charge. 

In  connection  with  the  tennis  court, 
an  arbor,  pergola,  or  tea-house  is  often 
built  where  guests  and  spectators  may  watch 
the  play.  We  have  equipped  a  number  of 
courts  in  this  way,  and  are  prepared  to  fur¬ 
nish  special  designs  showing  the  possibili¬ 
ties  of  this  very  attractive  feature.
